Publication number: 20200014725Abstract: This disclosure facilitates managing lost devices. In some embodiments, a system receives a first device type from a first agent on a first device, and a different second device type from a second agent on a second device. The system receives a first group associated with the first device and a different second group associated with the second device. The system determines that the first device and the second device are lost and accesses a database storing first and second configuration classes associated with the first and second devices, respectively. The system creates first and second device-dependent classes based on the first and second device types and the first and second configuration classes, respectively. The system melds the first device-dependent class into a first melded profile and the second device-dependent class into a second melded profile, using the respective groups, and applies the melded profiles to the corresponding device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Applicant: ConnectWise Inc.Inventors: Gregory Francis Buerk, Scott Logan

Publication number: 20190089605Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate managing information technology service level agreements. In some embodiments, the system includes a server that accesses a database storing a support ticket in memory. The support ticket can include a creation time and a service level agreement. The service level agreement can include a maximum response time. The server initiates, via the computer network, responsive to input from a computing device, a chat session associated with the computing device and the support ticket. The initiating can be associated with a time stamp. The server can be configured to determine a compliance with the service level agreement. The compliance can be computed as a difference between the time stamp and the creation time being less than the maximum response time. The server can be configured to generate a notification of the compliance with the service level agreement.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Applicant: ConnectWise Inc.Inventors: Arnold Bellini, III, Linda Brotherton, Craig M.

Publication number: 20180359158Abstract: The present disclosure facilitates improving the operation of a cloud service by updating its configuration information and its resource requirements. The resource utilization of the cloud service can be monitored, and a decision logic module can determine whether action is required. When action is required, an update can be prepared and applied, and notifications can be generated about the condition and its resolution. Resolutions can require correlation of multiple cloud services to provide real-time access to information that is not otherwise available to a single entity. Resolutions can be learned and predicted in a number of ways using a predictive engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2018Publication date: December 13, 2018Applicant: ConnectWise, Inc.Inventors: Craig M.

Patent number: 10116619Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate provisioning an out-of-band system. In some embodiments, the system includes a server of a first domain, which includes a management engine. The management engine can establish a network tunnel with a device on a second domain, and modify the domain on a DHCP server on the second domain to be the first domain. The device can use a fixed subdomain of the first domain to transmit a provisioning request for an OOB management system to a provisioning engine in the first domain, which can transmit a certificate including the first domain to the device. The device can validate the certificate by comparing the domain in the certificate to the domain from the DHCP server and verify that they match. The management engine can modify the DHCP server to have the original second domain.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Connectwise, Inc.Inventors: Donald McCallum, Brett Alan Cheloff, Kevin Davis

Publication number: 20180287898Abstract: The present disclosure relates to managing resource utilization in cloud service infrastructure. A device can monitor the cloud service. The cloud service can be configured with an automatic scaling function based on a threshold. The device can determine, based on the monitoring, that a utilization value of the cloud service during a time interval exceeds the threshold. The device can generate, using a policy based on the utilization value and the threshold, an instruction to disable the automatic scaling function of the cloud service by the one or more servers. The device can transmit the instruction to the one or more servers via a second cloud application programming interface. The device can generate, responsive to the policy, a service ticket data structure with an indication of the utilization value and the time interval. The device can provide the service ticket data structure to an electronic board.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2018Publication date: October 4, 2018Applicant: ConnectWise, Inc.Inventors: Arnold Bellini, III, Jagannathan Shiva Shankar, Topher Barrow, Craig M.

Patent number: 9971840Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of managing remote devices. The system can include a server with memory, a detection module, and a collection module. The memory can store a management information base (MIB) having a hierarchical tree of object identifiers and corresponding object values. The detection module can query devices and receive a first object identifier and its first object value, which can vary from those in the MIB; and use patterns to match the first object identifier and object value; and generate an identification of the device from the matches. The collection module can use the identification to select a collection template, which can indicate a subtree of the MIB and a collection pattern; traverse the subtree and identify a second object identifier that matches the collection pattern, and its second object value; and associate the second object value with the first object value.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Connectwise, Inc.Inventors: Scott Logan, Kevin Davis
